Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

CBSD, some of its affiliates, Visa U.S.A. Inc., Visa International Service Association, MasterCard International Incorporated and other banks are defendants in a consolidated class action lawsuit (IN RE CURRENCY CONVERSION FEE ANTITRUST LITIGATION) pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, which seeks unspecified damages and injunctive relief. The action, originally brought on behalf of certain United States holders of VISA, MasterCard and Diners Club branded general purpose credit cards who used those cards since March 1, 1997 for foreign currency transactions, asserts, among other things, claims for alleged violations of (i) Section 1 of the Sherman Act, (ii) the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act (TILA), and (iii) as to CBSD, the South Dakota Deceptive Trade Practices Act. On October 15, 2004, the District Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification of their Sherman Act and TILA claims but denied the motion as to the South Dakota Deceptive Trade Practices Act claim against CBSD. On March 9, 2005, the District Court granted in part and denied in part defendants’ motions for reconsideration of certain aspects of the October 15, 2004 rulings. Among other things, the District Court narrowed the antitrust classes to certain VISA-branded or MasterCard-branded cardholders of CBSD and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. On December 7, 2005, the District Court certified a Diners Club damages subclass, as well as Diners' antitrust and TILA injunctive relief subclasses. In July 2006, without admitting any liability, all defendants, including the Citigroup defendants, agreed to settle the IN RE CURRENCY CONVERSION FEE ANTITRUST LITIGATION for a total of $336 million, subject to court approval. The Citigroup defendants’ share of the settlement, which has been paid into an escrow account, was covered by existing reserves.  As part of the settlement, the class was expanded to include not only credit cardholders, but also debit cardholders.  The District Court preliminarily approved the settlement, and the final approval hearing is scheduled for March 31, 2008.

Each class of Certificates is represented by one or more certificates registered in the name of Cede, the nominee of DTC, and an investor holding an interest in such classes of Certificates is not entitled to receive a certificate representing such interest except in limited circumstances set forth in the Pooling Agreement. Accordingly, Cede is the sole holder of record of such Certificates, which it holds on behalf of brokers, dealers, banks, and other direct participants in the DTC system. Such direct participants may hold Certificates for their own accounts or for the accounts of their customers. The name and address of Cede is Cede & Co., c/o The Depository Trust Company, 55 Water Street, New York, NY 10041.
